Question about Search Engines and video - can search engines really pick up video?

I will be using Muvee Reveal which adds music easily too! I love all the feedback and look forward to it!

I actually offer this as a service on my VA site :-)

Yes Brandy search engines can grab video. Use of relevant keywords in the video description text boxes is one key. Some other Search Engine experts hopefully will chime in and elaborate more on this.

Weeelllll, as I understand it, search engines can't 'see' a picture or video, so your tags and other descriptions, etc. are very important when you're distributing. If you want your video to show up in searches, the written parts of submissions are the tags search engines will go by.

Oh that makes sense :-) Thanks so much!

Hola Brandy...cool idea to promote your services! You did a great job. I also have Muvee Reveal software and that would be a great touch to your video and since i'm a music lover, that would also be a great touch. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! I am going to use Muvee Reveal some more for future marketing I think. It's a great program!

It is a really good starting point for marketing yourself with video - nicely done!

I haven't used video marketing for myself but have used it for clients. I think it works well! The biggest hurdle I have had is promoting the videos -- I am using all of the social networking channels, as well as the namesake website. But that can always be a challenge. Otherwise, I think video/multimedia marketing is a great tool that should be utilized! Thanks for the info

I have my YouTube feed auto posting to my Facebook, really helps! That may be something you can do for clients as well!
